More than 40 drivers were caught speeding along a residential road near a nursery, with one motorist recorded travelling above the limit three times in an hour.

The Chandler's Ford speed watch group said 41 drivers were recorded exceeding the 30mph limit on School Lane during a monitoring session.

Six of those motorists were travelling at 40mph or faster.

One driver was recorded passing the speed watch team three times during the hour, with speeds of 40mph, 41mph and 38mph.

The group shared the figures after monitoring traffic in the residential part of School Lane.

Mulberry Corner Day Nursery is located on Castle Lane, at the junction with School Lane.

Community speed watch groups are made up of trained volunteers who monitor vehicle speeds in their local areas.

They use speed detection equipment to record vehicles travelling above the speed limit, with the aim of raising awareness and encouraging drivers to slow down.

Where drivers are repeatedly recorded speeding, details can be passed to police for further consideration.
